compression is not free, dictionary compression:

1, complicates and slows down update, which is typically more important in OLTP than OLAP

2, is generally bad for high cardinality columns, which requires tracking cardinality to make decisions, which further complicates things.

lastly, additional operational complexity (like the table maintenance system you described in last paragraph) could reduce system reliability, and they might decide it's not worth the price or against their philosophy.

News has never been about reporting absolute truth, there is just too much influence/power/money to be gained for manipulating public perception.

The fact that people believe in journalistic integrity shows how successful they are at brainwashing the public.

Do they not want those conveniences? Or are they tempering their expectations based on their budget and perceived cost?

If, let's say, a typical $30k car means a large EV SUV with all the luxury gadgets and conveniences, plus fridge, massage chair, full camping setup, etc. Would 30k car buyers not expect those things?

I can accept the argument that they are trying to be inclusive towards disadvantaged students, and it just happens that racial make up of poor but qualified students lean towards black or hispanic.

Is that the reality? or is it middle class and less advantaged white/asian kids giving way to middle class black/hispanic ones? Or worse, is it simply raising the bar for asians because there are too many of them in higher education like they did to jews?

Since a few years ago, especially as layoffs started at big name companies, there have been a massive investment in funding and talent into modernizing traditional industries. This effect will be felt by IT departments that built in-house software and small product or consulting shops.

US car manufacturers other than Tesla have not been very successful at producing EVs despite subsidies. It'll be interesting to see how this affects future policy making. Will there be subsidies to protect legacy US automakers? Does that mean gas cars are here to stay?

If a building's rent is higher than its surrounding ones, renters are less likely to live there. The same applies to cities, if, after adjusting for job/lifestyle/etc, people feel it's too expensive to live in a city, they move away, eventually reducing demand.

China does not ban YouTube or Instagram because they're foreign, They have some very onerous rules about censorship, which I disagree with, but are applied equally to all companies operating in China, including Chinese ones.

A good example is that google is banned but bing is not, and tiktok is also banned in China because they don't follow those laws.

Of course Taiwanese people care about their way of lives, and they have full right to expect and defend that.

The problem is sadly much more complicated than "dictatorship wants to subjugate democracy". Simplified thinking is what the elites from China, Taiwan and the US wants you to think, so powers can be held onto and wars be justified.

This is a very western view on things.

Chinese people from mainland cares much less about democracy than citizens from western countries. The primary motivation for Chinese people to want reunification is that it's one of the last remaining symbols of colonialism.

It only opens up to another machine validated by public keys.

It serves similar purpose as opening firewall to just a specific IP/port and dynamically change the IP/port as the other machine moves or disconnects. One of the main advantage is that it works behind NATs you don't control (i.e. public WiFi).

Edit: also most home routers do not have the ability to dynamically open up to specific IPs based on where your outside machine is.

I was just reading about it the other day, pure ingenuity!

For those who don't have time to read, Tailscale uses a quirk in how stateful firewall treats inbound UDP traffic to allow connection to a remote server without it opening up to the public.

It seems the first reason is root of all the other reasons. If one cannot find a job that pays what they believe they deserve, they are much more likely to start their own business.

The employee market does penalize generalists, those who lack political savvy (ADHD, OCD), and/or those who do not come from well off families and connections.

US has done much better than previous empires.

Despite starting off with genocide of natives and slavery, it slowly improved over time in terms of addressing internal strife, which is probably a major contributor to its longevity as a global power.

History may not repeat, but it rhymes. Great empires all eventually fall because its citizens started to see each other as enemies more than allies.

That being said, the narrative is also written by victors in the eyes of the ruling class. So take them with a grain of salt. For example, America was only a symbol of freedom for those fled Europe, not much for those who were here before or shipped from Africa.

I wish the same! My first couple weeks on co-founder matching were consumed with meeting a wide range of folks, most of whom in the "I'd like to start a company if the right co-founder / idea / other criteria present themselves" stage.

One thing that seems to reduce the noise is selecting "I'm working full time on my startup" and make that a requirement for co-founder. But it would be nice to also meet those who are not actively working on an idea but very committed to finding a co-founder to start something.

I experienced a deep realisation that our thoughts manifest from nowhere and not from ourselves (words fail me here) and that the construct of 'me' was completely false and was just a reverberation of my environment.

Wait, is this not common knowledge??
